How to force arrows to not cross any objects?

Is this possible currently or something considered for the future? So on the diagram I have multiple rectangles used to show my own objects and they are connected with arrows. How can I make sure these arrow lines are not drawn through these rectangles but around them? Or should I use other primitive shape for my objects instead of rectangle?

Here is what I'm talking about:

Btw, I discovered also that some arrow descriptions are broken, although all of them are generated the same way? Is this known bug? On this attached picture you can see descriptions like "===MW-9003" which should be rendered to "MW-9003" (and for some of them it works, for some not... The code is common:

!define Con(e_from, e_to, e_color, e_label, e_techn) e_from -[e_color]-> e_to : "===e_label\n//<size:DESC_FONT_SIZE>[e_techn]</size>//"

Thanks.

BTW, It seems that the most inner rectangle (blue one) is somehow avoided by arrow lines, is this just coincidence? Or the inner rectangle has different rank level than these surrounding rectangles? I tried t play with arrow ranks (change from "-->" to "----->"), it changed the overall diagram "density" but the lines are still crossing boxes...
